We have invested a great deal of time and effort in preparing for this relationship and enlarging the USDC family.   Tom Jones and his family have created one of the premiere chains in the nation, and have done a wonderful job in building a large base of loyal customers, profitable revenues and most importantly employees committed to incredible customer service.”
